ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION
CORIAN® SOLID SURFACE
At DuPont, we lead by example—creating
innovative, sustainable solutions while reducing
our footprint and supporting communities in
which we operate around the world. Corian®
solid surface material is the result of a scientific
quest to create solid-surface material for
residential and commercial designs of
surpassing beauty. Specially engineered to be
both visually stunning and long-lasting, Corian®
comes in more than a hundred colors and
patterns, and can be custom-cut and installed for
limitless design possibilities.
At DuPont, we are innovating so you can
achieve sustainable designs without sacrificing
durability or beauty. The Corian® Terra
Collection is made with a minimum of 6% preconsumer-recycled content—and some colors
contain significantly more. In addition, these
nonporous surfaces, when properly cleaned, do
not promote the growth of mold and mildew,
making them ideal choices for public spaces,
homes, healthc
are and food preparation
facilities, hospitality, schools and offices. Corian®
exterior cladding offers many advantages for
ventilated façade applications.
We have committed to reducing our footprint, and
encourage our partners and suppliers to work with us
to enhance sustainability throughout our supply chain
and theirs.

This declaration is an environmental product declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025. EPDs rely
on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products
over their life cycle. Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance
benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically
address the site-specific environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human
health
toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools and certifications that are designed to address these impacts
and/or set performance thresholds – e.g. Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental
impact assessments, etc. Accuracy of Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts, and the level of
accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not
comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover different life cycle
stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from
different programs may not be comparable.

Product Specifications
Product Description
Corian is a solid, nonporous, homogeneous surfacing material, composed of ≈1/3 acrylic resin (also known as
polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA), and ≈2/3 natural minerals. These minerals are composed of aluminum trihydrate
(ATH) derived from bauxite, an ore from which aluminum is extracted.
®
®
Corian is an advanced composite product used as an architectural and design material in a variety of residential and
®
commercial applications. Corian solid surface offers design versatility, functionality and durability. Supplied in sheets
and shapes, it can be fabricated with conventional woodworking tools into virtually any design. It is the original solid
surface material made only by DuPont.
Flowing, virtually seamless, organic shapes, bold effects of color and translucency
if it can be imagined, it can be
®
®
created with Corian . Corian is available in a vast range of trendsetting patterns and tones, as well as your own
custom-designed colors. In baths and kitchens and beyond, throughout homes and hospitals, restaurants, and public
®
®
spaces, Corian solid surfaces deliver high performance and outstanding aesthetics. Corian continues to evolve and
to inspire unprecedented creative flights of design fancy, combined with functionality.

According to ISO 14025
From meeting the certification standards of UL Environment for GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD GOLD to the
®
Terra Collection being certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) for recycled acrylic resin content, Corian
Design surfaces give more sustainable design options. Builders who use “Home Innovation NGBS Green Certified”
®
®
Corian products can earn points toward certification to the National Green Building Standard™. Corian may help
®
®
contribute
to U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED points. Corian is NSF/ANSI Standard 51 Certified for the
strictest level – Food Zone.
Application
®
Corian can be used in residential applications, including kitchens and bathrooms, as well as in commercial
®
applications for both horizontal and vertical installations. Corian is the ideal choice for public spaces, homes,
®
healthcare and food preparation facilities, hospitality, schools and offices. In addition, Corian exterior cladding offers
many advantages for ventilated façade applications.

Solid Surface Production
®
Corian product sold in North America is produced at two facilities in the US, and other facilities in Japan, Korea, and
Turkey. Production is weighted by North American sales in 2015. At the facilities, raw materials are mixed, cast, cured,
and cut into sheet. The sheets are then polished before being packaged for distribution.
